I do realize fog can work in a photos (
Click Here, doesn't fit in this thread), but unfortunately, I also live in the Central Valley of California where the fog is thick and low to the ground. Yesterday, I couldn't see 100 feet. Anyway, I think fog is best when it is a little less dense and there is a bit more interest in the way of trees, topography, rivers, etc. Most of that doesn't exist in my immediate location. Of course if I didn't work, I could drive places and get some cool stuff or fly up to Oregon like I did for the photo I posted in the other thread linked before.
Anyway, the image below is from the 15 mm, coincidentally on the same day as the fog image I linked above but at the bottom of the canyon: Handheld, K3, ISO 800, f/8, 1/30-sec.

Actually, I have processed a photo with the 15 mm that I took in the Oregon fog. This is an HDR shot at ISO 400 and f/8 looking across the Columbia River.
And the more cliche photo from Oregon, but a nice one because with the 15 mm I could stand right up at the rail and fit the whole waterfall into the image. Although, I do feel that the wide angle, portrait orientation here takes a little away from the image because it doesn't seem as high from this perspective as it was years ago shooting with something more like a 30 mm lens.
